Senior Chad Myers' two-hit shutout in game two helped the Cougars salvage a split. The right-hander walked just one and struck out five in a complete-game performance that ran his record to 6-0.

The Cougars' 7-0 victory in game two followed a 10-6 defeat in game one in which Glenwood-Trout Lake's Ben Anderson and David Wasgatt combined for a no-hitter and nine strikeouts.

In the opener, G-TL broke a 5-5 tie with a five-run outburst in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Kavanagh sparked G-TL's nine-hit effort, going 3 for 3 with four runs batted in. Derek Kavanagh was 2 for 4 with three runs and three stolen bases.

G-TL also got two-run singles from Jacob Hinderliter and Roy Browning, and a run-scoring double from Wasgatt, who had two hits.

Exchange student Saul Hernandez got tagged with the loss, despite striking out 10 and giving up just two earned runs and three walks. His defense let him down, committing six errors.

In the nightcap, Lyle's defense had one misplay behind Myers, who was in control all the way.

He yielded a pair of hits to Derek Kavanagh, including a triple.

The Cougars managed just three hits, but capitalized on three GT-L errors, to score the runs they needed.

Devan Essex had one of those hits and scored two of his team's seven runs. He also stole three bases.

At Klickitat 16-12, La Salle 6-8 --

Adam Bauer went 6 for 8, including three extra-base hits, to help lead the Vandals sweep the Lightning last Saturday.

Larry Heath also provided two run-producing hits: a two-run double in the first and an RBI single in the fifth. Jeremy Dean finished with three hits, including a three-run double in the fourth.

Jason Dean, who picked up the win, added two hits, two RBIs and scored three times.

Jeremy Dean earned the victory in game two. He got plenty of offensive support from Bauer, Tyler Schultz and Travis Cleveland. Each had three hits in four at-bats.

Lyle 8, at Klickitat 1 --

In the fourth, Smith and Locke each hit run-scoring doubles to stake Myers to a 2-0 lead.

McMurrin started the Cougars' three-run fifth with a triple. He scored ahead of Saul Hernandez, who came home on a single by Tyler Essex to make it 5-0.

Lyle increased its lead to 7-0 in the sixth, thanks in part to McMurrin's RBI double that scored Johnson, who had reached base on a single. In the seventh, Devan Essex singled and scored on a basehit by Locke.
